A silly idea that turned out well! Most flex PCBs are cut by laser, not milled, so you can make perforations by adding incomplete edge cuts. These disks are for cleanly joining LED strips at different angles and different radii, and they break apart with just my fingers, no other tools.

Here's a quick hands-on overview of the Raspberry Pi CM0, a 39x33mm RP3A0 castellated compute module @raspberrypi.com and EDATEC have released exclusively for the Chinese market!

Hey everyone! Today at 11am EST I will be Premiering a video that's been nearly one year in the making. I worked with some amazing modders and @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social to make this Project a reality and I really hope you all enjoy it! WATCH HERE 👉 youtu.be/0OMP8JvGWNY

I've created a 3D model for the Sony A14/D14 BVM Bezel. If printed it should fit 1:1 with the stock unit. Files can be found here: bitbuilt.net/forums/threa...

This is some of the hardest shit I've seen in my life

*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

i reverse-engineered the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5! check it out at github.com/schlae/cm5-r...

Allison has made a Game Boy cart based around the RP2040. The RP2040 acts as a MBC! The documentation is freaking fantastic and Allison has released the files under the CC BY-NC-SA license abc.decontextualize.com

This is straight fire

KiCanvas is such a dope project (kicanvas.org), shout out to @thea.codes.

OpenOCD such a great tool but the development really is a hot mess. It is relied upon by so many projects, but still hosted on SOURCEFORGE. Every vendor is maintaining their own fork and nothing seems to get upstreamed. I don't know who the core maintainers are, but something has to change.

I'm stoked to have finally finished the Kawaii, a fully functional metal Wii keychain. It's way smaller than it looks— only as big as a Game Boy cartridge! ✨🟦✨ Huge thanks to @weskmods.bsky.social and @dingding-cnc.bsky.social for being awesome project partners!

The Nintendo Kawaii, a collaboration project between myself, @mks.bsky.social and @dingding-cnc.bsky.social has finally been released fully open source! If you're brave enough to build one you'll have one of the most unique pieces of gaming jewellery ever. Info here: bitbuilt.net/forums/index...

Video on the new WaveBird replacement receiver just went LIVE on my Second Channel! Thanks to this project many WaveBirds will fly once again! VIDEO HERE 👉 youtu.be/XrUXnhONNe0 This is an open source project from @loopj.com and being made by @collingall.bsky.social

Thanks for the coverage Tito!!

Better late than never: makerworld.com/en/models/14...

Finally put together my first completed WavePhoenix, a replacement receiver for the GameCube Wavebird controller. I modified @loopj.com's original pcb design to use an alternate package, as the recommended one was completely out of stock. Works perfectly!

1/6 I finally decided to stop procrastinating and get on with assembling some @loopj.com WavePhoenix receivers. This thread will show you my journey. I started by tinning the pads on 6 PCBs and the 6 EFR32 MCUs I had. 🧵👇 #RETROGAMING #Nintendo #GameCube #WaveBird #WavePhoenix

Go get yourself an assembled WavePhoenix on Monday!

Xenii over on BitBuilt has created an incredible open-source Wii handheld called the Xii-Boy Ultra. It is a fully functional Wii console in a Gameboy-style shell that is just 27mm thick! Check it out here bitbuilt.net/forums/index... or build your own github.com/Xenii1642/Xi...!

Sega Saturn SV files have dropped! Get them here: bitbuilt.net/forums/index...

Looking utterly phenomenal in person, assembly happening later today.

Trying to judge the demand on WavePhoenix adapters, Please join the back in stock list to help me prepare for the release if you are interested in the product. www.laserbear.net/products/wav...

We have life on the #wavephoenix Wavebird adapter. Gonna start printing a shell and start the tedious task of crimping the wires for the adapters.

Another GC Nano has found a loving home! Only enough parts for a few more of these in my inventory! More pics of current commissions coming soon!

WavePhoenix64 - rendered in Ice Blue of course

I basically test all of these devices with BlueRetro every release. And that's mostly what donations are used for, getting more!

Here’s a fun render from @weskmods.bsky.social of 4 WavePhoenix receivers in a Kawaii dock! I actually designed the case explicitly to fit in the Kawaii (bitbuilt.net/forums/index...)

cirw.in/blog/conl hot off the press, my new config file format

Threw together a browser-based OTA firmware flasher for WavePhoenix today. web.wavephoenix.com

The first "complete" Saturn mini is finally assembled. Got a ton of testing to do now.

Here's a special edition of the WavePhoenix for everyone that told me it looked like an asthma inhaler

I'm excited to finally release the first public version of WavePhoenix, my open-source implementation of a Nintendo WaveBird receiver - github.com/loopj/waveph...

yOu wOuLdNt dOwNlOaD An XbOx fLuBbEr aNiMaTiOn Yes, yes I would Thanks to @weskmods.bsky.social for making it possible.

If you are doing any embedded development check out probe.rs, I'm dumping pyocd/openocd for this.

Teaser for a new project I'm working on. I'm collaborating with Gunnar again, the last time we collaborated the Ashida was born 😉 youtu.be/erXqaEDZGRU

Panasonic Q backplate with FlippyDrive support, made from 1018 steel using #PCBWay's Sheet Metal Service, it has 8 extruded and tapped holes, along with a powder-coated and silkscreened back Huge thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this project!

SNEdge Alpha Release! I finally finished writing the _very_ basic instructions within the github repo. github.com/ThunderTechn... A friendly reminder that I'm considering this an alpha release, as I'd like to do testing on all SNES revisions before calling it good.

New video. This one has been in the works for over 2 years. I think this is the best story I will ever tell on my YouTube channel. youtu.be/JfZxOuc9Qwk?...

Hey BBC in 1995, can you help me understand what multimedia is?

Hollywood-2 (Wii Mini) OMEGA trim with Thundervolt. This is for my Kawaii project (collab with @weskmods.bsky.social and @haoxuanding2) bitbuilt.net/forums/index...

Whipped up an eval board for the Lontium LT6711A. It takes HDMI in and outputs USB-C DP Alt Mode. This is gonna be a gamechanger for Wii portablizing!

@albertwenger.bsky.social welcome!

I have uploaded my latest GC Nano case files to BitBuilt. This includes a major change to the cooling design making it cheaper, cooler, easier to assemble and basically dead silent (the original setup was a jet engine) Info can be found here: bitbuilt.net/forums/index...

Currently working on Scampi, an open source shrimp-themed universal audio amp for portablizers! 🦐 🩷 It will support analog input as well as I²S from a dozen different video game consoles.

Excuse me, what

Started a starter pack of retro gaming mod creators, if anyone knows of people I'm missing that have a Bluesky account let me know. go.bsky.app/AiT5yE4 This should make it pretty easy for people switching over here to find modding news. :)
